Huntley Out as Head Coach of Toronto (MLL)

"I decided to step down at the end of last season It was great
to work with Stu Brown and our ownership group and it was a great
thrill to coach in my hometown. We have a great group of staff and
players and I know they will have a great 2011" said Huntley.

Huntley, the first coach in team history, had a 10-14 record in
two seasons as head coach. He led the team to the 2009 Major League
Lacrosse Championship in their innaugural season. Toronto was 7-5
during the 2009 regular season before defeating Long Island and
Denver at Major League Lacrosse Championship Weekend, both by one
goal, to win the title. The team dropped to 3-9 in 2010.

Toronto team president Stu Brown had this to say about Huntley, "I
truly enjoyed working with Dave over the last two seasons. I
believe Dave brought immediate respect and professionalism to our
franchise. Dave helped build our culture and identity as an
organization during his two year here. Dave helped build our
championship team in the months leading up to the 2009 season ,
later that year Dave lead our team on a late season surge that
culminated in a Steinfeld Cup for our franchise, something that we
are all very proud of." Brown added, "Dave was a great mentor for
our players and helped establish our franchise as a place players
wanted to come and play."
